To stand oil" and see others doing things looks easy. Their success is ascribed by those looking on to luck or money, but it is not so. In nine cases out of ten it is because those others were willing to do and to dare, and were always willing to do and to dare. That is the main secret of their success. y * The farmer very seldom looks at his work from a business stand point. He knows in the beginning that he can not depend upon just what the seasons will be, although he sometimes plants in the moon, or whenever the stars say so, in order to try to catch fortune ahead of time. He starts out in a hap hazard way as he views the situation, and he gets into that habit and remains in it. Tt is not the best plan by far for him, and some of the farmers have found it out. Go after what there is to be had out of anything and run after it in a business way. Nothing in the world can be per feet and the results obtained from any proposition will hardly ever, if at all, turn out just what the promotor expected. Hut stick to it for what there is in it and make results count from good management. * * * More and more both men and women are getting down to strict business in every walk of life. As the population of the world increases, new methods have to be put into effect, new plans for making a living. More and more life has to reduce it ij? j - i - ? ? - sen 10 a system wnereoy Dusines? is kept strictly to itself, and the pleasures and recreation is kept to itself and always follows after the business. The business of life as we may please to call it is a matter for serious thought and study and more and more it must be as time goes along and it becomes harder and harder for [ each individual in the world to make his or her individual place in it the scheme of things. * * * * FAR RKACTIING EFFECTS OF LEAD POISONING. Load poisoning has a detrimental of feet on the off-spring of the workers, whether male or feamale. Half a century ago Constantino Paul reported striking observations on the effects of paternal lead-poisoning?cases in which the father was subjected to ! plumbism, the mother being unaffected. He obtained the history of thirtytwo pregnancies of this order; twelve ; of them resulted in the death the child before birth; twenty children were born alive, but the mortality among them was extremely large, only two surviving the third year. Chill dren so born were found particularly liable to various nervous affections I These unusual statistics, says the Journal of the American Medical Association, have not, so far as we arc aware, been refuted. In the University of Wisconsin, Cole and Bachhuber have shown the effect i oi lead on me germ cells ot the male, in rabbits and fowls. The young produced by male rabbits poisoned by ingestion of lead acetate have a lower vitality and are distinctly smaller than normal offsprings of unpoisoned males In fowls likewise the poisoning of the male parent with lead results in offspring of lower vitality. The outcome of these investigations furnisher, food for reflection. Lead poisoning and the opportunities for it arc by no means rarities. There are more than a hundred occupations in i which industrial load poisoning may more or less readily occur, and the cases of known intoxication from such sources reach into the hundreds in some of the larger cities. Plumbism i may appear under most peculiar clinj ic-al guises and with most unexpected histories. These newly recognized features of the elfects transmitted to a s cond generation complicate its manifestations more than ever. OBITUARY On last Tuesday morning March 23d about 4 o'clock, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Cox and took their darling baby little Geo. Cleveland. He was sick eleven days and Oh! such sufFering the clittle one endured with broncho pneumonia. Especially on that last night. All night it lay awake, but it fell asleep at morn. All was done for it that loving hearts, willing hands, and a good physician could do, but all failed to case the little body so racked with pain, until God saw lit to take the little one home to him. Little George was two years, : 8 months and 13 davs old. A very * I j bright and sweet little child, and Oh! I . I how hard to part with him. How | lonely is papa, mama and the dear little sister, how they miss the busy little foot and the sweet voice, which was ofter heard, as it went about it's play, even trying to sing songs in it's own little words. The song it tried most to sing was that old time hymn 'That bright day may be tomorrow, on the other shore." Early did that bright day come to Little George and while wo wee]) he is singing with the angels on that other shore. His life though short has left a ray of sunshine in our lives, and may we all live so as to meet the little one at Jesus' feet. Gone to thy rest fair child, Gone to thy dreamless bed Gentle, meek and mild With blessings on thy head. Before thy heart could learn In waywardness to stray Before thy feet could turn The dark and downward way. ?His Loving Cousin. WARNING! TOW ?

The proper place to begin this is in mo school room. l!?o teacher should impress this habit upo \ the minds of the young folks. No one can enjoy an education to ! its full extent unless he or she adopts the practice of reading, and besides the pleasures one gets by reading, ho gains a great fund of knowledge which figures an important part In ; his daily affairs. i lie who invests all his spare time in the reading of good books and news papers will some day be the horned man of the community; and he who idles away his time will he his slave. Education is a tool, so to speak, to better equip one for managing his own affairs, and unless the tool is constantly in use it becomes dull and of very little service; but if it is kept in steady use it becomes very serviceable. What an intelligent people we would be were we to spend all of our idle moments reading some good book or newspaper. For istance, let us glance back over the lives of Christopher Columbus, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, and others whose lives have proven such great blessings to humanity, we find that reading books and magazines played an important part in their inventions and discoveries.

LITTLE HOPE NOW FOR GOOD POTATO PRICES. South Carolina Growers Warned of Conditions that Threaten Overladen Market. Clemson Colege, March 29.?W. W. Long, State agent of demonstration and director of extension at Clemson, directs the attention of the South Carolina farmers to a statement recently received at the college from the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr I.encr HMfno +V.?, .y....-.'... HIU ers of the eastern counties especially to take note of the situation and not to put too much of their dependence on Irish potatoes this year. The statement from Washington is as follows: "Truck growers who annually plant a considerable acreage of potatoes are warned by the United States Department of Agriculture that there was, on January 1, 1915, a very much larger supply of northern-grown potatoes in the hands of growers and dealers than was the case January 1, 1914. Experience has demonstrated that a large hold-over crop of northern-grown potatoes which is in good condition and selling at a reasonable price when the early truck-crop potatoes reach the market means low prices -sometimes so low that the 100^ IllSBBhI' Si ij I |g I! ^ r*v\r . && JL i\. who has made financial czars t ire the missing million dollars.
